Light and Dark

The Fall

“RUN, you Shadow Twit!” she shouted. It had never been Sagewoman’s intention to kill the Shadow, just teach him a lesson… Springing into action, Phantasm grabbed Sagewoman into his arms and he dashed with all the speed he could muster, into the next room. The speed was so great that they both collided into the door across the entrance and fell to the ground. Phantasm fell upon Sagewoman and tried to cover her as the Ball of Light exploded in the cavern below causing a flash of Light far brighter than any the Shadow had seen before. With wounds already leaving Phantasm vulnerable, the Light proved too much and instantly knocked the Shadow out. Seeing the flash was over Sagewoman looked to see how the Shadow had fared. “You ok Spook?” she whispered, staring down at his limp body. “Wake up spook, are you alright?” Still nothing was heard from the Shadow that lay tattered on the hard ground. “Oh My Goddess what have I done?” Sagewoman cried out. Phantasm’s stare was black and empty as he looked towards the ceiling. Realizing she in fact cared more for this Shadow than she had ever known, she became panic-stricken. “Mother…Mother…Mother!” she screamed over and over hoping that Mother Earth would hear her plea. Even a heart of stone had its breaking point.
